I Need Help With Mental Exercises (Dharana & Dhyana) 04/30/24 (Tue) 03:05:16 No.142525

I have been struggling for a while with these mental exercises, I really need help. I'm hoping that I'll find some rare individuals with key knowledge on this niche website.

Please read carefully and answer the three questions to best of your abilities. Thank you for the help.

If you don't have an answer for #2 but you are actually proficient at #1 then that's good too, I can't move on to exercise #2 anyways because I'm stuck at a 1 minute duration for #1.

Questions:

1. Have you practiced Dharana (concentrating on a single thought for a prolonged period without ANY mental interruptions), and how long can you last (in minutes)?

2. Have you practiced Dhyana (emptying the mind of all thoughts for a prolonged period without ANY mental interruptions), and how long can you last (in minutes)?

3. What kind of specific training/method did you use to attain your level of proficiency in both exercises (book, course, etc)? - Be as specific as possible

1. Yes. Indefinitely sans form constraints

2. Yes. Indefinitely.

3. I was lucky. I died. 5 minutes hospital bed cold. 30 day medicated coma. I….willed myself half aware through it and ended up jammed between…worlds.

Figured I can be a point of reference. I mean, if you took this seriously you'd be the first :/ not like I tell it as anything more than a reply.

I don't remember who I was, I feel no desire to deny nature and try to be something else. I was a different human * before that fart.

I'm quickly losing my grip on the world though. Not like insanity. I haven't been angry since. Just…borrowed time? I don't know.

All I want to know is if I was saved by something, or.. did i will my spirit into somewhere it shouldn't?

I didn't study anything. My eastern philosophical bend was labeling really.

My suggestion is to not try so hard. Enjoy it a little more. Don't try to approach matters of the heart with the intellect.:)

You tried you best, but my wording doesn't really fit your joke.
